Sci-fi author, game designer, and provocateur Theodore Beale (aka Vox Day) is never far from controversy. His latest project, a crowdsourced attempt to catalogue every social justice warrior (left-wing political activists known for their intolerant attitudes) in existence is no exception.

The project, called “SJWlist,” describes itself as a resource to “help SJW-converged organizations locate and identify Social Justice Warriors they wish to hire or otherwise support.” However, critics of Vox Day are calling it a blacklist. Even some opponents of SJWs have distanced themselves from the project.

The 200-strong list already features some of the most notorious names in the world of social justice activism. It includes Australian feminist Clementine Ford, known for getting a man fired over a Facebook comment; Melissa Click, known for her attempt to use physical force to expel a student journalist from a public demonstration; and Randi Lee Harper, known for inciting reputation-destroying internet mobs against her political and personal rivals.

Given SJWs’ penchant for destroying the lives and careers of their opponents, Vox Day’s defenders argue that tracking their activities is a relatively mild response. Day’s recent book, SJWs Always Lie, instructs opponents of the regressive left-wing activists to always “punch back twice as hard,” and defenders of Day argue that this is precisely what SJWlist is doing.

It's a very fair and balanced article, presenting both the pros and cons, but it is clear from the comments that most people on the right support the list, some of them very enthusiastically. The counter-arguments have to date proven extremely weak and unconvincing; no one has any ideas at all how to stop the SJWs from running roughshod over people other than "be nice to them and hope they'll stop".

I can only conclude they haven't read SJWAL yet, because that is absolutely terrible advice akin to the Swedish government telling Swedish women to tell a migrant intending to rape her "stop" in an authoritative manner. These moderates have no tactics, they have no strategy, they have nothing but wishful thinking to offer. Which is why I usually just ignore them and you should too.

And some have asked about the new SJW doxxing campaign called SocialAutopsy, which is now on Kickstarter. The SJWs behind it have already been added to the list, and if they follow through on their plans, their pages on the SJW List will perfectly reflect whatever tactics they use.

What the SJWs fail to realize is that they lost their ability to influence us once they managed to make us unhireable one way or another. No SJW-influenced organization will ever hire me for anything, and I realized that back in 2008. But having reached that realization, I also realized that I was now free of any employment-related constraints on my actions. As it turns out, there are far more people who are not SJWs and their numbers are growing every day as SJWs increasingly attack moderates and even leftists who fail to submit, or even keep up, with their dynamic Narrative.

The fact that SJWs fear being on the SJW List is an indication that not only are their intimidation tactics failing, they know they are failing. And that scares them, because SJWs Always Project and they fear others doing to them what they have been trying to do to others: discredit, disemploy, and destroy.

Look, when the Germans started using poison gas in WWI, the British, French and other allied forces did not tsk tsk disapprovingly and show themselves to be the better people in order to convince the Germans through example to stop using such dastardly tactics. No, they used poison gas right back against the Germans, and did it even more effectively. Please note that this did not turn them into Germans.

The result? Everyone stopped using poison gas.

In the Culture Wars, holding oneself above the fray and showing that you are a better person has a consistent record of losing on nearly every issue for the past 60+ years. It doesn’t work. It is time for different tactics, to fight fire with fire, so to speak.

If you are not willing to fight the good fight, so be it. At least stop turning your guns on your erstwhile allies because… *gasp* …they are using effective tactics that work.

I thought the list made a good deal of sense. The way the SJW operate is in backrooms. They thrive on secrecy. To shed some light on the people and problems I thought was admirable. There was a fellow in Calif. once who made a list of the quality of cars. The father of Kelley Ross. The idea was the same. To give information to people about what they are buying before they buy it. Afterwards it is too late. So what you did I thought was a public service.

I think some of the power that SJWs have comes from pretending to be neutral. As in, they're a 'disinterested' party. People are more likely to accept agenda-pushing under the guise of something that isn't agenda-pushing (even though, externally, it is identical).

I was doxxed and dragged through a media firestorm over a decade ago because of the things I wrote. It cost our family the church we called home for generations, numerous friendships- or what I thought were friendships, there were death threats against not just myself but my pregnant wife and young children. Once the shock wore off we began to craft a new life and it has been ten times as rewarding as the old one. We became anti-fragile, found that there were indeed far more people on our side than not and life has improved immeasurably. I should add that none of my views were altered in any way except that what I had only conjectured to be true had been proven beyond a doubt.

I wish there had been a place like this back then, a primer like SJW's Always Lie, some kind of support system beyond my family and closest friends to help weather that storm, but I'm grateful my own experience served as a catalyst for others to glean important lessons. These people are unstable, dangerous and cannot be reasoned with or made to see that the rest of the world does not want to walkin lockstep with pathological ideologies.

You've done a great service here, I rarely comment because others do so with better effect, but I wanted to let you know that for every person who does give you credit for the work you've done, there are ten times that number who benefit, probably more. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Why fear a list if you are proud of your actions? This should be a badge of honor for these people. They should be asking to get on it as a sign of idealogical purity and street cred. I do wonder why they don't want to be associated with their actions....

A strategy we need to keep our eye out for is the SJW attempt to take advantage of moderates by claiming that its really just two equally crazy groups fighting.. the SJWs vs the Free Speech Warriors. The term Free Speech Warrior isn't something we've self applied and its been showing up more and more. I am half-convinced that its a deliberate plan to provide the SJWs with cover and reframe the whole conflict.

SJWs have no psychological defense to being hit back. They also get disoriented when appeals to Narrative values fail:

"It's a Mccarthyite blacklist!"

I modify your last two lines:

"We're not yet that effective."[SJW brain goes tilt]

The power of a "McCarthy" blacklist was two fold, after the nation realized Uncle Joe and the USSR very much weren't our friends: the very act of joining the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA), back when it was popular and could pick and choose recruits, was the requirement to "submit to party discipline". That is, CPUSA members back in the 20s-30s and probably beyond were self-declared traitors, not merely Leftists beyond the political mainstream.

And of course, as has been noted, the massive overlap between CPUSA membership and agents working for the the GRU (military, and perhaps the most numerous) or NKVD.

It's like the age old argument to surveillance, if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about. So if SJWs are on the right, and are doing just things, then they shouldn't have nothing to worry about being in a list that tells honestly what they do and how they think.

But judging by the uproar the SJW List has caused, they clearly are afraid that the borderline illegal and morally unjustified actions they employ do make them uneasy. So to SJWs, which is it? Are you on the right, or do you have something to worry about?

Might it be worth adding SJW Colleges and Universities? That way, parents keen to see their off-spring converged with the SJW borg narrative, can have a handy list of the most converged institutions in one convenient space.

Being moderate and willingly cucked are the keys to success for the left, without the moderates and cucks the left is toast.

Look at the gay mayor from New Mexico he can scold conservative leaning whites and the cucks agree so that becomes successful political theatre, repeat that everyday and here we are on the cusp of collapse.

Stop playing along with the political theatre and next thing you know a guy like me will start up a Thunder Dome where he pits the leftist coalition against itself.

If the Quataris want to throw the mayor off a roof top while he is in their country I will respond with a sternly worded email that while celebrating muslim diversity while also critiquing the white male patriarchy.

Vox is the reverse of the crying over pollution Indian. That guy was really Italian pretending to be a 'skin and Vox is a skin trying to get by in Italy. I bet he tears up one manly tear when he sees a scuffed loafer or a spilled fruity umbrella drink.

Nate @14: "A strategy we need to keep our eye out for is the SJW attempt to take advantage of moderates by claiming that its really just two equally crazy groups fighting.. the SJWs vs the Free Speech Warriors."

Absolutely. I've seen this trend growing in the anti-feminist/mra battles over the past few years. Joe Rogan used it in an interview with Milo last year.

@11 & OP "I can only conclude they haven't read SJWAL yet, because that is absolutely terrible advice akin to the Swedish government telling Swedish women to tell a migrant intending to rape her "stop" in an authoritative manner."

And now I can't help but think of San Angeles PD in Demolition Man. "Simon Phoenix! Lie down, and place your hands over your head, or else!" "We're (moral) police officers, we're not trained for this kind of violence!"

And the GOP leadership thinks they are Cocteau, if Colorado is any indication.

I suggest they add a "SJW of the Day" in order to help some poor SJW who has been severely impacted by their actions.

An example would be the donglegate person--Adria Richards--who got two guys (including one with a wife and family to support) fired from their jobs for telling a private joke at a tech conference.

She was consequently fired from her job over the incident, and last I heard (over a year later) she has been unable to find work due to her actions & subsequent notoriety.

She and other SJWs in similar circumstances should be highlighted on the front page, so the world knows just how terrible their plight is. Thus giving SJW convergent organizations a short list of who they should be hiring.

After all, the site is about helping SJWs by highlighting them...right?

"In the Culture Wars, holding oneself above the fray and showing that you are a better person has a consistent record of losing on nearly every issue for the past 60+ years. It doesn’t work. It is time for different tactics, to fight fire with fire, so to speak."

agree with that 100%. Rush Limbaugh always said don't do to the left what they do to you as far as boycotting advertisers. How is that working out?

You have to grant yourself permission to do to others what they do to you. For example I didn't realize it until going thru therapy that I had internalized blame for slavery and a bunch of other sh#t that I as someone born in the late 1960's, didn't do. One morning I woke up and granted myself AMNESTY. Now I lie to those who lie to me, threaten those who threaten me, steal from those who steal from me, etc etc.

"FrankNorman April 14, 2016 8:32 AM ...Black is by definition the complete absence of all colour."

It depends on if you are talking about light or pigment.

The following statements should be understood as mild hyperbole.

All colors of light put together make white light.All colors of pigment put together make black.Therefore,A perfectly black surface is absorbing all wavelengths of light.A perfect white surface is reflecting all wavelengths of light.

Let's just say I'm very familiar with the place. Not SJW at all due to it identifying as conservative and having to swim very much upstream to do so. (Very rigorous academics and western civ core curriculum).

However, it suffers from the same cuckiness that you'll find in any conservative organization.

The British followed Germany in chemical warfare, but they led the way with the Hunger Blockade. When Germany went tit for tat with unrestricted submarine warfare it indirectly brought in the U.S., which lost Germany the war. So responding in kind doesn't always work.

I stayed up through the night and finished reading this book at about noon. Having worked in the press from the early 80s and midway through the 90s, I saw these SJWs up close and personal. When I decided to leave my now obsolete position of compositor, I was told by HR how Becoming a full time mother was letting down the sisterhood...and that only pissed me off. My hatred of feminists was pretty well known by the staff, and her guilt tripping me only hardened me. In journalism, you always know who the special snowflakes are. In a bakery, however, the new hire made herself quite unwelcome. Personal note: Nobody in the real world talks about gender neutrality and transsexualism. They just want their cake. Pink and purple for girls and blue red and green for the boys. The only thing I had to say was NO. We don't do PC in a bakery. Be quiet and do your tray ups.
